Quick Post: Hot Oil Treatment- Fail

My University had its Fall Convocation on Thursday, Nov. 15 (*proud annual Dean's list maker right here* lol) and I did a hot coconut oil treatment on my hair last Wednesday night in the hopes of waking up to wash it and having a "cute day" for Thursday.

That did not work out :/

The hot water decided to be absent that morning leaving me with the option of washing my necessaries (TMI?) and squeezing the excess coconut oil from my hair into a towel. I went to the convocation and accepted my award with my hair in a bun.

Guess who felt like a grease ball.

The up-side, I guess, would be that I had the coconut oil on my hair for a super long time.

After the event, I ended up just doing a shampoo wash with the Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioned my hair with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner. I then left it to airdry.

I would have liked to know what was the result of your hair being drenched in coconut oil for such a long time, following the normal wash, condition and air dry. I could imagine though what it felt walking around with all that oil in your hair...so sorry hon.

About Me

Hey!!

I really decided to begin this journey to healthy long hair because I changed climates (hot Caribbean weather to cold American winter) and I noticed my hair was not liking it. My hair also wasn't liking the fact that I didn't know how to take care of it, so I started finding out how to treat my hair and not subject it to scissor happy stylists who do not treat my hair with respect.

So you're more than welcome to join me in getting the results desired and hopefully you will learn from my mistakes too. :)
